We are going to be busy finishing up all our projects and units before we take a well deserved break of school. As I told the students today, they are not able to turn their brains off until the end of Friday. Except for maybe a little time on Friday. I am going to allow the students to have a little “break” on Friday. Any student will be able to bring in snacks they want to share with the class. I am not making it mandatory that anyone bring anything in, but what I am going to tell the students is that if they bring in something make sure you bring enough for everyone. I am planning on having this talk with them on Monday or Tuesday, but I wanted to tell you all today.

Grades became official this week. Please go on Skyward and check your student’s progress through the first third of the year.
